Scholarship Program Overview
Scholarships at the Alaska Community Foundation are made possible by passionate donors who are committed to helping Alaska’s students pursue their educational dreams.
At ACF, we understand that researching and applying for scholarships is intimidating and time-consuming. The good news is that the earlier you prepare to apply for a scholarship in high school, the more likely you will be awarded one. We want to support you during the application process.
We have over 40 scholarships available, some of which you may be eligible for. Go to the Application Resources tab below for a step-by-step checklist to help you navigate the scholarship process – start to finish.
